2014 Olympics Ladies Short Program

[CarneAsada]

That score is a bit low...

Two Level 3 elements. The people who thought that she would beat her old record were know-nothing idiots anyway.

 

[usethis2]

I thought she worked that step sequence for level 4.. where did she fail or did she miscalculate?

 

[UnChosen]

Only a bit over 74 for that?

Hold my nose so I don't smell something fishy.

 

[YunaBliss]

Yuna was underscored!!! Guess Russians do not want this competition to end with SP...

 

[Ven]

You knew there would be cheating with the judges again. Now watch how many give Julia 8s and some same components scores.

The judging really has turned into a disgrace.

 

[HalfTriple]

IMO veery beatable score fron Yuna...we'll see what Julia will score...

65-67 is Julia's real score if judged correctly.

They said this was it as far as the Olympics go. If she wins, she will be back. Guaranteed. It's on home ice with a chance to 3-peat.

I seriously doubt that. It's a possibility that the STUPID Korean Ice Sports Federation might beg (read force) her to bring home another 3 tickets. But Yuna already said time and again that this was her last Olympic performance.

Solid skate, she seems happy.

SP: 31.94+25.69 = 57.63 (PB), in 3rd (out of 18)

this undermarking reflects Yu Na Kim's example to the world of skaters- her quality giving way to the progress of the skaters now - - - the relevance of that program not comparable to James Bond program - the score for that event reflecting the B level competition she used to prepare this season - hopefully, her free skate is something the crowd can really like

 

[AlexThere]

For the Yuna fans, why is she quitting after this season if the next Olympics will be in Korea, and she will still be young then?

She said she's struggling with lack of motivation since 2010 Vancouver. Also, she'll be 27, which is considered being ''old'' for a figure skater. I know there were many skaters still competing at that age, but she said herself in some documentary ''I just realized that I'm 23, I'm too old''. And - I think it's better to leave in a good style than force competing and leave in a worse style. I mean.. Sasha Cohen.. she came back in 2010.. people remembered her as a great competitor, but her 2010 performance at 2010 Nationals was not that good, she took 4th place. Same Plushenko - he's awesome, but he withdraw from the Olympics. His performances were forced. And audience doesnt want a skater to force himself to perform.

 

[Blades of Passion]

I would score Yu-Na:

3Lutz+3Toe, +2 GOE
3Flip, +2 GOE
FCSp4, +1 GOE
2Axel, +2 GOE
LSp2, 0 GOE
StSq3, +2 GOE
CCoSp3, +1 GOE

SS - 8.75
Trans - 8.0
Performance - 8.5
Chor - 8.25
Interp - 8.5

Total - 69.93

 

[Jenny81]

This is her last SP performance.

Tears in my mind.

Yes.. yes...

 

[Dodhiyel]

That was lovely. I could not help but notice that Yu Na's semi-biellmann was slightly to one side, making it easier on her back, and also there was another move that showed special respect for her back. I think she has had some back trouble that is healed now, but some strain remains. She covers it well, though.

 

[ARipp42014]

57.63 for Nathalie. Way better than in the Team Event.

 

[NorthernLite]

All streams I check showing hockey/ curling. (And plus they may’ve given my work PC viruses!)

Eh, maybe just watching results is less stressful anyway. Esp. when Ash skates.

 

[yelyoh]

Deflate Yuna's scores and inflate Julia's scores (PCS) to keep Julia close. Julia's will be very high!!!!!!!!

 

[Rikku]

Nathalie Weinzierl GER....57.63 (into 3rd)

 

[ks777]

I thought Yuna was slow today.

 

[roxella]

the forum is loading so slow...I guess the traffic it's very crowded

 

[HalfTriple]

The score is fair.
